My daughter is waiting to start AIT for 13F. What can I tell her about the MOS to assist her. Current and Future?

Kimberly Holmes have confidence in your daughter. If she did well in BCT, then she is on equal footing. I don't think 13F is as physically demanding as you're building it up to be. All MOSs have physical demands that present different challenges to different soldiers. It absolutely is doable. Soldiers do it everyday. I would think 13B Cannon Crew Member would be far more difficult from a continuous upper body strength perspective. Understanding fires processes, systems, weapon effects, ranges, etc and getting them for her unit is far more important.

She'll be assigned to Infantry and Armor units, but women are assigned to these units already. Particularly in signal, maintenance, supply, intelligence, and other key functions. Infantry and Armor females soldiers may already be at her unit.

I'll allow a 13F to chime in on particulars.

The 13F job is critical, forward observers and effective call for fire have and will save many lives. She should take pride in the fact that she will be breaking a new path for many females in the future. In the late 80's I served with one of the first female FA officers and she was sharp, physically fit, she led and made it clear that you either supported her direction or you get out of the way.
Sometimes soldiers get in a funk between training events. If she did well in Basic then she will do fine in AIT.

Mrs. Holmes,

I was a PSG/ BN FSNCO at 1-CAV Fort Hood during the initial first wave of female 13Fs arrived to us in 2017. My experience in my platoon was that the female Soldiers generally tended to struggle with the physical requirements of the job not the mental requirements. My recommendation for your daughter is to research and execute a fitness training regime that works for her. Her Leadership should be able to direct in her in the right path to improve conditioning, strength, muscle mass which will all contribute to her being able to thrive and not damage her body. I had too many Soldiers who had sustained injuries getting through basic training and AIT at the ripe age of 18-21 years of age. If she can learn how to properly train up, conduct a proper warm up/ post cool down, it will help her down the stretch. This is a lifestyle change as you’re probably aware, exercise is part of the equation. Proper rest and nutrition make up the rest of the equation. God speed and good luck.
